SHANGHAI, Nov. 23, 2021 /PRNewswire=KYODO JBN/ --

At the two-day 2nd Genki Carnival held at Shanghai Jing'an Sports Center

November 20-21, 2021, AKB48 Team SH (these idols belong to Shanghai Shangyue

Culture Development Co., Ltd.) performed dozens of songs, including five new

singles, in 40 elaborately designed stage settings, switching in and out of 180

new stage costumes and delivering an energy-filled experience to their fans. 37

members of team participated. The events - a concert celebrating the third

anniversary of the founding of AKB48 Team SH and a rock-paper-scissors

competition - rewarded fans with their best ever performances. First-generation

member Liu Nian was chosen as the center performer on Ogoe Diamond, title song

of the next album, while fourth-generation member Chen Jiayi won the

rock-paper-scissors game.

During day one, AKB48 Team SH performed 30 songs including kickoff single TSH

Sanjou!, three new singles - Zipper, Seifuku Resistance and Temodemo no Namida,

as well as classical ones-No Way Man and Bokutachi wa Tatakawanai. During the

encore, they performed their version of sister group BNK48's hit D-AAA as a

surprise. With much new and fresh content, a reimagined stage design, the

lineup of never-before-seen stage costumes, and ever-changing configurations of

the members as each set of songs was performed, the three-hour concert

delivered a truly delightful audiovisual experience to the onsite audience.

On the second day, AKB48 Team SH performed 10 songs as the warm-up including

yet unreleased single UZA, Team SH's first Chinese style original song Qian Qiu

Ling and hit song Kurayami. AKB48 Team SH's Frist Rock-Paper-Scissors

Competition was held following the performance, which decided who will feature

in the new single Chance no Junban. Members came on the stage in turn with the

costumes of their own choice and funny introduction wrote by themselves. After

5 rounds of competition, fourth-generation member Chen Jiayi got the final

victory by last move of scissors and also the center position of Chance no

Junban. The competition reaffirmed the immortal line of AKB48's founder Yasushi

Akimoto, "luck also serves as strength".

On the evening of November 21, the 16 members to be featured in Ogoe Diamond

were announced, with Liu Nian selected as the center followed by Gui Chuchu and

Zhu Ling. Four trainees who passed the training and became the official members

were also announced.
